    Steve: I wish I had more for you, but I have no idea. I suggest contacting the company for that kind of information.

    David: The NYT recently ran a story about the Lyric, which you can read here. For information beyond that, I'd also suggest contacting InSound.

    Dr. Cocotos, Insound has a list of prescribing doctors on their website.

    David Rice, although the Times article suggested it was just available in beta to testers, it is definitely available to the general public. The InSound website has a list of doctors, mostly in CA but some in other parts of the country, who prescribe it. I got mine in New Jersey - one distributor with two offices is the only location serving the metro area. I am very pleased with them, and with a 30-day guarantee, you only risk the cost of the fitting if you don't like them. Be ready for some discomfort, especially if your ear canal is narrow, but it is not a big deal and for me went away after about ten days. I barely notice mine now after using them for two weeks. Good luck.

    Would Lyric do that?
